Ingredient Statement

We use only real—and delicious—ingredients. No added flavors, colors, or preservatives of any kind (except for lemon and lime juices, which can be used as preservatives, though Chipotle uses them only for taste). Learn about where they come from, how they’re prepared, and way more than you ever wanted to know about each and every one at our
Real Ingredients page.

Tortilla Chips

White Rice

Black Beans

A portion of the black beans we use are produced organically. In 2015, we used 4,000,000 lbs of organic black beans.

Pinto Beans

A portion of the pinto beans we use are produced organically. In 2015, we used 2,200,000 lbs of organic pinto beans.

Enzymes

The cheesemakers that supply our cheese do not use animal-based rennet. As a result, the cheese we serve is suitable for vegetarians.

White Sweet Corn

We use non-GMO white sweet corn in our Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa.

Lime

To produce tortillas according to the centuries-old process of Nixtamalization, corn is soaked in a lime solution. This practice, which has been followed in Mexico since before the days of Christopher Columbus, improves the flavor and increases the nutritional value of the corn.

Sunflower Oil

We fry our chips and crispy corn tortillas in non-GMO sunflower oil.

Propionic Acid

Propionic Acid is used as a preservative, as it inhibits the growth of mold and bacteria.

Benzoic Acid

Benzoic Acid is used to preserve the freshness of tortillas by inhibiting the growth of mold, yeast, and some bacteria.

Monocalcium Phosphate

Monocalcium Phosphate, a common ingredient in baking powder, is used as a leavening agent.

Fumaric Acid

Used as a dough conditioner in baking powder, fumaric acid helps improve the texture and pliability of dough.

Calcium Sulfate

Calcium sulfate is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used as a coagulant in the tofu-making process for more than 2,000 years.
